Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

Hey Jeremy,
Man, the new pieces look gorgeous.  I am just drooling looking at them.  Almost shorted out my keyboard, ha ha.
The color looks fantastic.  Compared to the Italy Combat Dice you can see in the background, it looks like you matched that color perfectly.  I do have a question regarding the finished pieces you showed us on May 20.  These newer pieces actually look a bit lighter in shade than the ones you showed us before.  Those looked like a really dark brown.  Is this due to a different type of plastic used for the newer pieces?  Or is it just because you took these pics of the pieces on the map while the first pic was just on a white surface?  Just curious is all.

FMG, really great looking Italians,  Question which large aircraft is the bomber versus transport?  I am not to familar with Italian Aircraft.

The transport plane would be the one that’s boxier looking.

Nice indeed!!

Those units look red on my computer. Are they red or brown?

you can see the italian dice in the back, and it’s more or less a color match.  if you have the dice, you can check for yourself.

If not, looking at my dice, it’s a sort of milk chocolate brown.

The photos look as though the white balance is off and they were taken under a typical incandescent light which always has a amber hue if you don’t account for it.

They definately look like they match the combat dice, and yes, Kcdzim is pretty accurate in the color description of those (Milk Chocolate, or MAYBE a bit darker).

It’s got to be the lighting, but also keep in mind that monitor/video card settings/quality can make a difference too so it’s hard to figure out what color something is online (without reference).

As long as they are brown,ok.

This is so close any timeframe on shipping these awesome pieces? Ready to pre-order Germany as well.

are preorders up?

Not yet Lunar he is waiting till Germany is in production but it sounded like Germany is pretty close to being done. After all he already has sculpts of USA.

I don’t give dates anymore… been Burned to many times.  We are VERY close.

FMG, excellent. If I was in your shoes I wouldn’t even give a projected timeline on this at all.  Too many variables that can come into play on a production like this.  Just keep us in the loop on what your doing and when they are available for pre-order you will let us know. Cheers

Smokin’! Can’t wait!

Hey FMG

Don’t you feel like a dad driving his kids to Disneyland for the first time? lol
